[QUOTE=Little Jay;1316673]I recognise that process of making a guitar your own! I have become better at it ovr the years and nowadays I don’t even hesitate to take a file and sanding paper to round off the fret board edges.
There has been some trial and error for me too, and if I can't do the work to a level I'd pay someone to do it or better, I won't do it... but as long as I can buy or MacGyver the right tools it usually turns out well. Fret work and wiring is my next home luthier skill to work on...on a junker guitar first of course.
Snow day yesterday kept me inside with my two year old. Can't play during nap time, so I cannabalized my old saddle, and fitted rosewood spacers to my bottom notched new saddle. Does it do anything tone wise? Don't know, but it looks nicer to me than exposed threads, and puts my DNA into the guitar (the bottom spacers are unfitted extras)
Dawg -
I think what you need is to find some examples of what you're looking for in professional recordings and see what they're doing. If you can't figure it out I'm sure someone here could help...
No, the guitar and piano charts are not the same (except for the treble clef passage in question), and I have seen the same direction on other arrangements. The usual convention is to write guitar...
The sound occurred by accident in a rehearsal of the classic George Shearing Quintet. A piano melody line was meant to be doubled in unison by Margie Hyams on vibes and Chuck Wayne on guitar but...
I looked it up on Google and It’s not a guitar thing. It’s a piano thing.
Locked hands, blocked chords playing the melody in unison with both hands.
On the Quintet recordings Chuck Wayne...
